POOL PARTY

The year 7 & 8's are going on their 1 week camp to Nelson in October.  We will be running a variety of fundraising events to help cover the cost families have to pay.   This term we will be holding a Pool Party at Naenae Pool which has been booked exclusively for Maungaraki School.  There will be full access to both the 50m Main pool and the Learners pool, the Funzone and the Hydroslide.  We will have sausages, lollies and chocolate available to buy.

Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Price: $6 per child/adult swimming (free entry if not swimming)

All children attending will need to be under the care of an adult 18 years and older and cannot be dropped off unsupervised.  Children under the age of 8 will need to be actively supervised by an adult 18 years and older (being watched at all times and being able to provide immediate assistance).  

A Signmee form will be out by the end of the week, so make sure to get your tickets for a community wide event!
